Sure, Tom Brady may not be the most popular NFL quarterback of all time. And, hey, he loses in the Super Bowl every time he plays the Giants (which, as a Giants fan, I’d be very happy to see him continue to do).

However, even I have got to give him this: The guy can sometimes get things right.

Brady, you may have heard, just returned to the NFL after a four-game suspension for his role in “Deflategate.” His return was pretty stellar, with 406 yards and four touchdowns in a 33-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

On the other hand, it was the Cleveland Browns. But still.

After the game, though, Brady was asked about more pressing issues. Namely, what did he think about Donald Trump’s conversation with Billy Bush being called “locker room talk?”

“If you have kids of your own, how would you respond if your kids heard Donald Trump’s version of ‘locker room talk?’” a reporter asked him.

I’m sure it’s pretty deflating to have your performance reduced to a question about Donald Trump, but I suppose it does beat PSI.

This is one thing about the media, though. They refuse to quit going on about Donald Trump and his comments. Now they’re asking Tom Brady about them. What, exactly, does Tom Brady have to do with anything this election cycle other than the fact that he once kept a “Make America Great Again” cap in his locker?

Meanwhile, if this were Hillary Clinton, this would be hushed up and gone by the weekend, I can guarantee you. It’s almost as if Trump is a magnet for reporters trying to keep the story alive any way that they can.

Many Americans are sick of it, and Tom Brady is, too. That’s why the man who may be the best quarterback ever to have played the game exited the news conference as quickly as possible. Good job.
